Reliable Emergency Backup Power

Congratulations! You’ve purchased the most advanced, feature-rich Inverter/Charger designed as an alternative energy source during utility
power failures. Tripp Lite APS Inverter/Chargers keep your equipment constantly up and productive through all utility power problems (blackouts,
brownouts and high voltages) by inverting DC power from user-supplied batteries into AC power. Built-in surge suppression provides an additional
level of equipment protection. When utility power is present, APS Inverter/Chargers automatically pass through power to your equipment while
simultaneously recharging your connected battery bank. APS Inverter/Chargers are the quiet alternative to gas generators during emergency
backup applications—with no fumes, fuel or noise to deal with! You get AC electricity anywhere and anytime you need it.
